School pictures

Does anyone still order these things? They seem a little outdated with a camera being within reach literally at all times. Maybe it's good business for the local photographer but I am thinking about taking my own at a neat location like a field or stream.

With the digital technology we have now, film photography is quickly becoming a thing of the past. I still like yearbooks and class photos that can give the kids something to look back on and remember their friends, but thats about it.

I remember when handing out pictures was like trading really lame baseball cards. Certain pictures were worth more than others. If you could get a pretty girl to sign the back with something nice, your name and a heart, it was worth the most.

Unless she was loud or ugly, then it was like getting Ricardo Valenzulea's 1986 Rookie Card: it ended up shoved in the 'spare' box or between the bike spokes.

Now, with social media, it's a little fun to bomb someone's Facebook page with picture of their greasy, pimpled likeness from 20 years ago. It's even more fun to bomb someone's page with a glamor shot from the 1990s during their personal 'peak' of attractiveness. How time flies...

I still see them every year.
Tradition I guess......

I didn't get one when I was in school.
I just wanted out and to forget that horrible place.

We never did the trading pictures thing at any of my schools, my mom usually mailed them out to family and kept a couple.
